he's not dead. Just... Just comatose. It was never stated he died... Only his soul left... There's still a way. I've played all version of P3 even the P3P Female MC one.... I refuse to believe MC's dead. Elizabeth's looking for a way.
@waaruno830 No....He's dead. You learn that in the answer. He kept himself alive by sheer will (He SHOULD have died casting great seal) just to keep that promise to meet up on graduation. HJT is right. He knew it was his last day, and he was struggling at that point. I love the way they added an option to close your eyes or fight to keep them open only to have it show you that time was up regardless. What alot of people also don't know, is that he STARTS the game with apathy syndrome. Not from Shadows, or the Dark Hour, but from trauma. He just doesnt care. Thats why you have such hillarious choices in the first half of the game to not give a shit (Note how you gradually see less and less of these) OR how he just goes along with whatever. People turning into coffins doesnt make him scared, or disoriented- He doesnt care because he is as apathetic as death itself, making them kindred spirits. The game has MANY layers. You'd be hard pressed to find any other as well written or as deep.
@@MidnightBlackandVictoriafully agreed except that last bit. Every persona game has plenty of the deep layered writing that you speak so fondly of with P3. It's just a matter of caring enough to uncover them all. And I do mean ALL of them. All six games. From 1, to the 2 duology, to 3, to 5 (yes even 5 and I'm going to die on this hill) , they all have that much depth put into them. Some people just resonate more with one over another and that's ok, but to pretend 3 is some kind of outlier is just dishonest towards what the series has always stood for as a whole.
I have no idea who voiced Akinari's mother. But for a side character with a generic model, her voice actress honestly nailed that scene and I tear up literally every time I see it. That woman needs a god damn pay raise and needs to get more work in the industry. Also I can't find any definitive answer but apparently it's Cindy Robinson? Fucking Amy Rose? Bruh. She did NOT have to go that hard in that scene. I stand by what I said, she's already a well known voice actress but I suddenly want to hear her in more games.
Well Cindy has also been in persona before. She’s both Labrys and Ken in the Arena games but yeah that performance was honestly insane. Gotta be one of the best vocal performances for essentially a no name background charactet
The new ending screen was something really cool. The item on his desk and also the chair slightly undone to the right it s the sign that they are still waiting for him to come even if they know that he is never gonna..........
1:31:33. WHAT MAKES ME GO CRAZY AT THIS PART IS THAT THIS IS LITERALLY THE FORMATION AIGIS WAS IN IN THE INTRO OF THE GAME WITH ALL THE TAROT CARDS ON THE GROUD
I'm guessing the unknown sender is probably Ryoji. Makoto looked at the music box Ryoji gave him right before he got the text. And if you go up to the music room before that, he mentions how he remembers a melody being played there once and how it's going to be with him forever. But that aside, this was an amazing game. And an amazing remake. Love the Persona series so much
I'm so happy to see others play through P3R and praise it, it seriously has been remastered and this TRULY feels like a massive project which they worked so hard on.. i loved it all the way through. And the title screen changing permanently with Makoto's gun and armband on the desk, i think is just truly beautiful.
Yeah people originally questioned why the title screen was always so quiet and people even doubted Atlus because of it... Little did they know it was all leading up to the moment you return to the title screen for one last time... they made it so that the change hits you even harder. Whoever genius came up with this idea... Thank you.
@@NinjapowerMS Ultimately, anything will get stale after 240+ times of doing it.. I don't think there's really anyway that they could've "reinvented" Tartarus. Ultimately it served it's purpose and the RNG of the clock, the Monad doors and everything else, I think is memorable enough to at least remember fondly. Tartarus within the original was so stale it was abysmal. I'm glad at the bare minimum, it's ultimately more smooth to play through. Arguably out of all versions of Persona 3- granted we don't have the answer or Femc.. this is the DEFINITIVE version of the game.. the love and care put into this speaks volumes on how much they cared for the game. While granted- some changes in the voice cast were controversial to some (for some reason). Ultimately I think everybody did a wonderful job. I remember initially hating Kaggy as Akihiko when he first got announced, I think a LOT of the promotional teasers did NOT do him justice, trailers made him seem terrible and it was a shame because I genuinely love him as a voice actor. I think every performance he had was truly brilliant and he shocked me the most, Allegra Clark as Mitsuru was the best casting I've ever seen alongside Junpei's new voice actor, both phenomenal. Ken's newest voice actor as well was brilliant, one thing I didn't like was the scream when Shinjiro died ultimately pulled me out of the scene entirely, mixing that with Koromaru's randomly placed howls did slightly ruin the scene for me... Aigis newest VA blew me out of the water, truly a phenomenal talent same with Fuuka and Yukari. Not to mention Aleks Le as Makoto Yuki, Pharos and Ryoji, he was fantastic. (Apologies I just love talking about this game LMAO)
@@PlatinumDustVA There is but that would require full on remaking a good chunk of the game heck you could play around the fact that the Tartarus was once the ground zero for the experiments and add that into the blocks instead of getting documents lol. There's also three bosses barrage at the end of each block that really took out your mental health. I also disagree that it was stale in the original. Back in 2006? Nah no way. It simply aged like milk in 2024 and especially when Fatlus figured out the formula onwards with P4 and P5.
Makoto proved takaya wrong he wasn't fighting shadows and destroying tartarus for self satisfaction. Takaya states to makoto at the shrine "giving up your own life to save others is simply a waste" what banger foreshadowing by the guy meant to mirror the protagonist he's the complete opposite of makoto selfish accepting the end of all getting other people to believe the same things he does hes the false savior compared to makoto who truly was the messiah who gave everyone a second chance sealing off death. Thanotos found the answer to life despite only knowing death as the god of it whereas hypnos as the god of sleep remained in his dreams and delusions and didnt change. Takaya was heavilly improved in reload he was bland in p3 now he has substance to him and him contrasting makoto made makoto's sacrifice hit even more i love reload made my favourite game even better.
It's crazy how just adding those scenes with Takaya instantly makes him a better character and makes his part in the narrative way stronger. It's wild that Takaya and Makoto basically never interacted before Reload lmao
As a greek mythology nerd and having played Hades, when I saw the name Thanatos, I was like “wait, I’ve heard that name before, where is it from?” And then piecing together the lore between the connection of Thanatos and Nyx, and reading his description of Hypnos being his brother after fusing my own Thanatos I was like “yo that’s so cool, I wonder if I could fuse Hypnos?” I got to the Takaya fight 3 hours ago, and he casted his Theugy and called out his Persona’s name for the first time: Hypnos. My mind was blown and my jaw dropped to the floor. THE THEMATIC PARALLELS ARE PEAK.
Aigis grew on me and became my favorite character from the game. Her innocence made me love her as a character and great development throughout the story
It really is one of the most beautiful ends to a video game. I know both he and Aigis were the only two that remembered. But I don't know if he knew he was dying or not. His inner dialog didn't seem to think so, because he would only mention how tired he was. When all of his HP was drained on that final attack on Nyx it's like he should have died there, but his will pulled him to survive to get to graduation day. But Aigis definitely knew he was dying, and was protecting him all the way to the end relaxing him and talking to him like he wasn't fading away. And the last thing he saw was his protector watching over him. You really knew that she knew he was dying in the last scene after the credits rolled. She looked at the group and smiled a little, but looked somber looking back down at him. Her hand had moved from his and was holding his shoulder. She resolved herself to his death before they came to the roof. She knew he was gone, and knew it was coming. I think she knew when she showed up at his door, which was why she suggested skipping the ceremony and heading straight for the roof to experience the beautiful day. She didn't want to waste a second of what he had left on anything other than relaxing and being peaceful. It was the first time she protected him in a very human way, and not as a weapon.
Few examples of foreshadowing: “Enter the dark hour and seal your fate” Junpei’s 1st link episode “it’s your funeral, buddy!” Yukari telling the mc after he slept for a week that she was worried he wouldn’t wake up.
And the last piece of foreshadowing: all physical skills have a % HP cost, and spells almost always have an SP cost associated with them. Armageddon depletes HP and SP to 1 point each (but hey, it’s still something! Just Diarhan + Precious egg ya boi and he’ll be fine) Great Seal’s cost: 100% of MC’s max HP. Not 99%, not 99.99%, 100% Every single time. 97 hours of peak.
The game right at the start literally just says "You have one year" I thought nothing of it besides it being just like, hey persona games take place over the course of a year. God this game is amazing.
It not over as the answer dlc is coming 🥹 also p3 protag stronger than all persona protags 😈. I love how this is one of the few games where the power of friendship is well executed.
It won't be released till next year at the earliest so its over for now and no he's not the strongest he was awarded with the universe arcana due to his sacrifice not because he's stronger.
The ending really got me man. 😢 I was told that this Persona game had the best story, so I started playing Persona 3 Reload blind with a journal instead of simply following a online guide, which made my playthrough of this game such an unique experience for me personally.
I just realized that Aigis’s dialogue is what happened with Makoto as well. He found the reason to live. He found someone to protect. His friends. At the end he leaves, but I don’t think he had any regrets. He was peaceful and happy. He grew so much 😢
I heard someone say that Aigis is the canon romance and it makes a lot of sense. Her and Makoto's journeys are nearly identical, Aigis just puts hers into words while Yuki let his actions speak for him.
I beat Persona 3 Portable about a year or two ago, and the ending definitely made me tear up. But when I beat this yesterday myself, I don't think I've ever cried so hard at a piece of fiction in my life. Not at Berserk, not a Hunter x Hunter, not at any of the Xenoblade games, nothing. The way the end of Persona 3 Reload is presented needs to be studied.
I played the og Persona 3 back in 2010, and since then it became and continues to be my favorite game of all time. It's such an incredible game... And I love P4 and 5 as well, but it doesn't compare. Only game i can think that can come a bit close for me is Final fantasy 9
1 thing you missed, on the last day before graduation, i fyou to the flowershop she tells you sakura flowers mean dont ever forget me. hinting thats the end of you journey but the others will continue on
I cried so much man. I love this game more than P5R, also, HE DIES???? I HONESTLY DID NOT NOTICE THAT WHEN I PLAYED??? I THOUGHT HE JUST WENT TO SLEEP??? 😓😥😓😭
Yeah, the "Great Seal" move during the last phase of the Nyx fight taking all of his HP was meant to allude to that. There were some other signs, but that was the main one.
@@Tubular_dude_20y_ago Yeah now i just realized it, fuck, this game made me cry so hard. I use to think P5R was the best persona game but now after playing relod, this is officially #1 for me.
@@PicaroAnimations Atlus learned a lesson after this game, don’t kill off your main protags die, or else you won’t be able to make spin off games 😂😂😂😂 sadly this is most likely true so we’ll never get a gritty p6 filled with death again
@@mkloven101they actually did, technically two. P3 dancing in moonlight and pq and pq2 that was the crossover games. They just made it so they took place before his death
just finished the game and wow... man... compared to 4 and 5 upbeat perfect endings this was ROUGH............................. im crying.....................
Yea now wait til you go play innocent sin Also there's nothing wrong with upbeat endings. Eternal punishment ends on a very positive note with a very positive message and id argue it's still sadder than P3 as a whole nonetheless.
Completed it today and broke me so much. As for social link epilogues I loved Maya's and Kamiki's. First one perfectly showed the duality of the character, Kamiki was just another heartbreak to the collection (and my favourite non-playable character SL in the game I think).
I had the game on gamepass for 2 weeks only, and i just finished it staying up before my gamepass expired. Wow my thought process was lost at the time because I played from like 12am-6am and I was like wait is makoto dead not really thinking much about it until now. Rewatching this ending made me want to cry, I did not truly realized how deep this scene is.
If you think too everyone in SEES had someone they cared deeply about taken from them in one way or another except aigis and who did she care for the most? Makoto. She began to truly become human and the last thing she needed to be fully human was the pain and grief of the death of a loved one.
I heard someone say that Aigis is the canon romance and it makes a lot of sense. Her and Makoto's journeys are nearly identical, Aigis just puts hers into words while Yuki let his actions speak for him.
GUESS FKING WHAT? It's the same as the original, that's why a big part of the persona community pays their respect to Makoto death anniversary. This game broke more people than you could imagine.
The ending is Peak. Truely. Edit: P4G and P5R might be better in some stuff but Persona 3 Ending is goated. Fes saved me from depression back then lol. Ngl. Reload really foreshadowed Makoto's death here. They leaned to it too hard. I love that they did that though. Foreshadowing: they always tell you "we'll do it next year too!" "We'll meet again right? I can feel it!" "We'll be going to the mountains!" "We'll go biking!" Those stuff. And you always pick "Yes" 😂 knowing what happens in March 5th.
This ending and really story in general, absolutely kills my emotions everytime i watch the cutscene and yet its not even the absolute peak of the series story wise(personally p3 is a close second to p2). Thats how peak Persona and SMT is fr😢
2:53:43 when the last attack on nix used all of makoto's HP (1:28:33) i knew it was joever, but i didn't want to believe it until the part when he closes his eyes... this game is so well done man i played it blind, completed it 2 days ago and i'm still mourning 😭
Well 3R was my first persona game. I started playing it like a week after it came out. And now I've beaten the game, I've beaten P4G, I'm 30 into hours into P5R, 20 hours into SMTvV, 10 into nocturne and 10 into P3P femc. Needless to say P3R completely changed my life and how i spend it this year.
I finished the game last night for the first time. There was so many times throughout my playthrough where i cried, but there was no point where i cried harder then those last two days especially when i had to accept that makoto was dying. Then after the credits after that last scene and closing the game i open twitter to see akira toriyamas death, i started bawling again especially because of what p3r meant with death
As someone who never got into the original versions, i was affraid that i might not be into this game... Oh BOY was i wrong! I still like P5R more overall, but this was my best experience with a game in a LONG time!
2:53:53 I’ve never played this game before and I picked up on it which is why I think it hit so hard. I lowkey felt makoto wasn’t making it yet I wanted him to so bad
I just noticed, at the start of the game the menu title shows makoto with all the s.e.e.s. members in their homeroom. Once the game is finished, the homeroom becomes empty with just the s.e.e.s. armband and the evoker on yukari's desk. Just a little detail thats hard to miss. Actually hits hard when you chose yukari as the one you want to romance with
Shits why I almost can't stand watching playthroughs by mid to high traffic streamers, non-stop barrage of "lawlsorandom" alerts and constant need to pander for chat prevents ruins immersion for them, and I swear people time that shit.
2:50:26 My exact reaction when i finished the vanilla PS2 version for the first time! (also the same reaction I had every time I finished every other version after that)

I just realized that Aigis’s dialogue is what happened with Makoto as well. He found the reason to live. He found someone to protect. His friends.
At the end he leaves, but I don’t think he had any regrets. He was peaceful and happy. He grew so much 😢
I heard someone say that Aigis is the canon romance and it makes a lot of sense. Her and Makoto's journeys are nearly identical, Aigis just puts hers into words while Yuki let his actions speak for him.
I beat Persona 3 Portable about a year or two ago, and the ending definitely made me tear up. But when I beat this yesterday myself, I don't think I've ever cried so hard at a piece of fiction in my life. Not at Berserk, not a Hunter x Hunter, not at any of the Xenoblade games, nothing. The way the end of Persona 3 Reload is presented needs to be studied.
Its the music man
I played the og Persona 3 back in 2010, and since then it became and continues to be my favorite game of all time. It's such an incredible game... And I love P4 and 5 as well, but it doesn't compare. Only game i can think that can come a bit close for me is Final fantasy 9
Nothing much to say besides Greatness personified, thank you for an amazing play through and sharing your experience with us
愚者を宿したのが運命なら
死を宿したのもまた運命
主人公もまた記憶を失っていたのかそれとも一人だけ全てを覚えていたのか
死は誰にでも平等に訪れる。だからこそその運命に向き合い、精一杯生きること、そして自分の生きた意味を見つけることこそが命の答え
Worth every minute of the wait for this remake since the original.
Every Persona games has gravitas but man... this one is special.
2:37:54 I believe the message is from Ryoji
1 thing you missed, on the last day before graduation, i fyou to the flowershop she tells you sakura flowers mean dont ever forget me. hinting thats the end of you journey but the others will continue on
I still can’t believe we live in a timeline where the Persona 3 Remake has been out for almost an entire month
Now for 2 months
Persona 3 Reload is my 1st persona, W experience, one of my favorite games, i might even replay for 100% on the achievements
boy you're gonna love persona 4 golden and persona 5 royal. All 3 modern persona games are goated
Just finished it like an hour ago, i knew this game was peak but this is outrageous!
On March 4, if you talk to the girl in the flower shop, she'll say that cherry blossoms means "don't forget about me"
Just so you know, the text message from unknown sender is implied to be Ryoji because he looked at the music box just before he got the message.
I cried so much man. I love this game more than P5R, also, HE DIES???? I HONESTLY DID NOT NOTICE THAT WHEN I PLAYED??? I THOUGHT HE JUST WENT TO SLEEP??? 😓😥😓😭
Yeah, the "Great Seal" move during the last phase of the Nyx fight taking all of his HP was meant to allude to that. There were some other signs, but that was the main one.
@@Tubular_dude_20y_ago Yeah now i just realized it, fuck, this game made me cry so hard. I use to think P5R was the best persona game but now after playing relod, this is officially #1 for me.
He kept himself alive to keep the promise they all made to meet each other again
@@PicaroAnimations Atlus learned a lesson after this game, don’t kill off your main protags die, or else you won’t be able to make spin off games 😂😂😂😂 sadly this is most likely true so we’ll never get a gritty p6 filled with death again
@@mkloven101they actually did, technically two. P3 dancing in moonlight and pq and pq2 that was the crossover games. They just made it so they took place before his death
just finished the game and wow... man... compared to 4 and 5 upbeat perfect endings this was ROUGH............................. im crying.....................
Yea now wait til you go play innocent sin
Also there's nothing wrong with upbeat endings. Eternal punishment ends on a very positive note with a very positive message and id argue it's still sadder than P3 as a whole nonetheless.
The Answer was announced! Waiting for a happy September! ❤🎉
Completed it today and broke me so much.
As for social link epilogues I loved Maya's and Kamiki's. First one perfectly showed the duality of the character, Kamiki was just another heartbreak to the collection (and my favourite non-playable character SL in the game I think).
I had the game on gamepass for 2 weeks only, and i just finished it staying up before my gamepass expired. Wow my thought process was lost at the time because I played from like 12am-6am and I was like wait is makoto dead not really thinking much about it until now. Rewatching this ending made me want to cry, I did not truly realized how deep this scene is.
If you think too everyone in SEES had someone they cared deeply about taken from them in one way or another except aigis and who did she care for the most? Makoto. She began to truly become human and the last thing she needed to be fully human was the pain and grief of the death of a loved one.
Goddamn this game is so good.
Omega staring into our soul every time the pain hits 💀
I heard someone say that Aigis is the canon romance and it makes a lot of sense. Her and Makoto's journeys are nearly identical, Aigis just puts hers into words while Yuki let his actions speak for him.
PEAK GAME, TEARS WERE SHED 🔥🔥🔥
If the Persona 2 duology gets remade... God help everyone that was broken by Persona 3's ending.
GUESS FKING WHAT? It's the same as the original, that's why a big part of the persona community pays their respect to Makoto death anniversary. This game broke more people than you could imagine.
The ending is Peak. Truely.
Edit: P4G and P5R might be better in some stuff but Persona 3 Ending is goated. Fes saved me from depression back then lol. Ngl.
Reload really foreshadowed Makoto's death here. They leaned to it too hard. I love that they did that though.
Foreshadowing: they always tell you "we'll do it next year too!" "We'll meet again right? I can feel it!" "We'll be going to the mountains!" "We'll go biking!" Those stuff. And you always pick "Yes" 😂 knowing what happens in March 5th.
Persona 3 protagonist is the John wick of persona, through sheer force of fucking will, he made it to graduation 🫡
With a pencil...with a fucking...pencil...
With a fake gun… with a fucking… fake gun…
This ending and really story in general, absolutely kills my emotions everytime i watch the cutscene and yet its not even the absolute peak of the series story wise(personally p3 is a close second to p2). Thats how peak Persona and SMT is fr😢
2nd game of 2024 to make me cry like a baby.
Love this game but maybe a unpopular opinion but I wish there was a sort of Strega dlc but I imagine it would be hard to make thet happen
2:05:43 calling for Kurosawa is diabolical work 😂😂😂
2:53:43 when the last attack on nix used all of makoto's HP (1:28:33) i knew it was joever, but i didn't want to believe it until the part when he closes his eyes... this game is so well done man i played it blind, completed it 2 days ago and i'm still mourning 😭
My new favorite game oat.
Just finished this yesterday & watching this ending again I’m not crying there something in my eyes 😭
and now people finally knew why P3 is regarded this highly which led to P4 & P5
Ah damn, I was hoping things will be different
Well 3R was my first persona game. I started playing it like a week after it came out. And now I've beaten the game, I've beaten P4G, I'm 30 into hours into P5R, 20 hours into SMTvV, 10 into nocturne and 10 into P3P femc. Needless to say P3R completely changed my life and how i spend it this year.
This game is so goated…
Takaya basically went band for band in Theurgy and Lost to Armageddon 😂😂😂
I finished the game last night for the first time.
There was so many times throughout my playthrough where i cried, but there was no point where i cried harder then those last two days especially when i had to accept that makoto was dying. Then after the credits after that last scene and closing the game i open twitter to see akira toriyamas death, i started bawling again especially because of what p3r meant with death
Crying in the club rn
I still can’t tell if I’m crying cause I’m sad or I’m crying cause it’s a great ending
@2:53:33 They let you know at the very beginning of the game. "You have a single year... Go forth, and live in the time given to you."
the hood lost a real one
Watching this on march 5th hits different
6 months late but BRO i played this 5 times how am i crying everytime i see it
As someone who never got into the original versions, i was affraid that i might not be into this game...
Oh BOY was i wrong! I still like P5R more overall, but this was my best experience with a game in a LONG time!
I love how Igor says the "power of the universe" dude became a god, then gave it away to save his friends.
i have such a love-hate relationship with this game because of my various issues regarding other aspects of it, but damn man...they got me 😭
2:53:53 I’ve never played this game before and I picked up on it which is why I think it hit so hard. I lowkey felt makoto wasn’t making it yet I wanted him to so bad
I just noticed, at the start of the game the menu title shows makoto with all the s.e.e.s. members in their homeroom. Once the game is finished, the homeroom becomes empty with just the s.e.e.s. armband and the evoker on yukari's desk. Just a little detail thats hard to miss. Actually hits hard when you chose yukari as the one you want to romance with
If you are the one dubbing, I will sit and cry, my friend. (Hello from Turkey 🇹🇷)
Finally beat this game and wow just wow they cooked!!!!
Now way that mofo ruined the immersion with that subscription alert
you mad somone watched the game in english grow up kid
@@gamerbeast3616 by SUB I meant the alert he got in the middle of the saddest cutscene when the person SUBSCRIBED
Shits why I almost can't stand watching playthroughs by mid to high traffic streamers, non-stop barrage of "lawlsorandom" alerts and constant need to pander for chat prevents ruins immersion for them, and I swear people time that shit.
What an inspiring game.
bro i finished this game, i spen the entire finale crying and the hole credits too
We all have been ended by the ending
I played FES not too long before reload came out(October I think) I just finished reload last night and I somehow cried even more?
“That girl.” Hit me like a brick, I was frozen for a good minute.
PEAK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🙏🙏🙏
first game ever that made me cry
This is cinema 🧎
Just beat it and dam bro . He knew he was going to pass away soon got me bad at the end😢
this what happen when my first play through P3 FES
2:50:26 My exact reaction when i finished the vanilla PS2 version for the first time! (also the same reaction I had every time I finished every other version after that)
Now, we only gotta wait for the answer dlc so we will get the final conclusion of persona 3
Let see if part 2 will come since they did a great on make reload version.
One more person understand what arcana is.
When he realizes it is VERY much not the end
Interesting to note B Team is fighting off a hoard of shadows with no Navigator to show them whatthe enemies are weak to
Genuinely the greatest ending I have ever experienced in a video-game
Greatest game of all time
